Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Windows prerequisites and instructions before Linux and Mac equivalents, referencing Windows-specific tools (Microsoft C++ Build Tools, WSL), and using Windows-centric terminology and patterns (e.g., 'activate' command path, 'apt-get' for WSL). Some installation and configuration steps are more detailed for Windows, and Linux/Mac instructions are less prominent or missing in places. There is also a lack of explicit Linux or Mac command-line examples in some sections, and the use of PowerShell/Windows paths is prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Mac instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, not after.
  • Provide equivalent Linux/Mac commands for all steps, especially for environment setup and activation.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft C++ Build Tools, WSL) without mentioning Linux/Mac alternatives in equal detail.
  • Include Linux/Mac-specific troubleshooting notes and examples where Windows notes are given.
  • Ensure all code examples use platform-agnostic paths and commands, or provide platform-specific variants.
  • Clarify when commands or steps differ between platforms, and provide explicit instructions for each.
